If you’ve ever seen the new dating show “Excused” then you know it’s a wild ride of laughs and rejection. “It’s a fun show where I get to speak my mind as a comedian,” says host Iliza Shlesinger. “We don’t make fun of how guys look but we will make fun of their shirts.” Shlesinger … Continue Reading →
